Ruby is a small incorporated town in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, United States, located about 60 miles northeast of the state capital of Baton Rouge and adjacent to the Mississippi border, and characterized by a quiet rural atmosphere and a deep community culture. Sparsely populated, with fewer than 500 people according to the most recent census, the town dates back to the late 1800s and, with its early rise to an agricultural economy (e.g., cotton and soybean farming), still retains the rustic look of a traditional Southern town. The town's landmarks include a century-old community church and several Victorian-style homes, and the annual fall "Ruby Family Day," which blends elements of local Cajun and Creole culture, has become a shared memory for the surrounding residents. Despite its small size, Ruby epitomizes the serenity of the American countryside with its simple folk and distinctive Louisiana southern flavor.
Shantou, located in the eastern part of Guangdong Province and at the southern end of the Han River Delta, is one of the earliest special economic zones in China, known as the "Gateway to the East of Guangdong and the Horn of South China". With a long history, Shantou has been famous for its prosperous trade and commerce since the opening of the port in modern times, and is now a central city in eastern Guangdong and a national comprehensive transportation hub. With the advantage of being a hometown of overseas Chinese and the policy of opening up, Shantou Special Economic Zone has formed an industrial system led by light manufacturing, new materials and biomedicine, and the toy and textile industries are famous all over the world. As the birthplace of Chaoshan culture, Teochew Opera, Kung Fu Tea and Shantou's beef hot pot are unique and attract many tourists every year. In addition, Nan'ao Island, Boulder Scenic Area and other natural landscapes and cityscape reflect each other, showing the unique charm of "Seaside Zulu".
